Scooks Hill Farmhouse, Scooks Hill, Ospringe

3 Bedroom Detached House for rent in

A charming detached three-bedroom Victorian residence offering over 2,000 sq. ft. of spacious and versatile accommodation, set within nearly two acres of enchanting grounds. This traditional red-brick farmhouse features a symmetrical facade with white-framed sash windows, a central entrance, and pitched tiled roofs with twin chimneys.

Climbing plants and mature greenery enhance its rustic charm, blending the home seamlessly into its peaceful countryside surroundings. Set well back from the road along a private shingle driveway, the property enjoys a wonderfully tranquil position with far-reaching views of open countryside and ample parking.

Inside, period character blends effortlessly with modern comforts. A striking glass apex entrance opens to an elegant hallway with Acoya matting, stripped pine flooring, and wood panelling. The utility room, with butler sink, laundry appliances, and ample coat storage, lies to the left. The spacious kitchen/breakfast/dining room boasts bold dark blue cabinetry, composite worktops, and integrated appliances including an American-style fridge-freezer and electric oven with induction hob.

Many rooms are dual-aspect with bespoke fitted cupboards, shelving, and a muted Farrow & Ball colour palette throughout. A wood-burning stove anchors the reception area, whilst a fully tanked cellar accessed via brick steps offers additional functional space.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to a shower room and three bedrooms, each with cast iron fireplaces; the principal suite also features a fully fitted dressing room and luxury ensuite bathroom with roll-top bath and a separate shower.

OUTSIDE:

Scooks Farmhouse is nestled within nearly two acres of beautifully maintained grounds, offering a truly idyllic rural retreat. The gardens are a captivating blend of structured and natural spaces, featuring mature trees, established shrubs, flourishing vegetable beds, and expanses of manicured lawn that gradually give way to areas of wildflower meadow—perfect for encouraging biodiversity and enjoying the changing seasons.

A generous shingle driveway provides ample parking and enhances the sense of arrival, with the house set well back from the road to ensure peace and privacy. Surrounded by open rolling countryside, the setting is both tranquil and picturesque, offering uninterrupted views across the landscape and a rare sense of seclusion


SITUATION:

The parish encompasses nine hamlets, the major one being Painters Forstal, which is home to Lorenden Preparatory School. It is part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has several conservation areas as well as roadside nature conservancy areas within its boundary.

The town also offers excellent leisure facilities with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a cinema, a large park and recreation ground, a museum and numerous pubs and restaurants.

It has a good selection of primary schools and two secondary schools, one of which is the renowned Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. Faversham has a mainline railway station with a regular service to London Victoria, Cannon Street and Charing Cross and a high speed rail link to London St. Pancras. The nearby M2 motorway gives excellent and fast access to London which is approximately 48 miles, the Cathedral City of Canterbury and the Kent coast.

The bustling seaside town of Whitstable is just nine miles away and is famous for its seafood and annual oyster festival, held at the vibrant harbour and picturesque quayside. The town has a variety of independent shops and boutiques, as well as high street names, good local primary and secondary schools, numerous pubs, restaurants, excellent leisure facilities and a mainline railway station.
